A proposed housing complex for veterans near the newly opened Milo C. Huempfner VA Outpatient Clinic in Green Bay received a major boost this week that puts the project on track for a groundbreaking in late spring.

Veterans Manor, a $7.4 million project pitched by Cardinal Capital Management of Milwaukee, would provide 50 one-bedroom apartments for veterans in the shadow of the old Brown County Mental Health Center, which is being razed this fall. The manor, modeled after a similar operation near the VA clinic in Milwaukee, would provide housing and social services to low-income veterans.
